I didn't need a higher gas rate to shop online! It's just much much cheaper!!!


Agree, you can find a real good deal if you search enough.. especially on ebay.
I only tend to purchase high-priced items on the Internet; otherwise most of my shopping is completed in stores. In regards to your question, I disagree with the fact that this reality is beneficial to everyone. Online stores are characteristically under one-person ownerships, whilst offline shops employ countless individuals. The enlargement of gasoline prices further promotes the principle of "cocooning," which is essentially the recent anti-social trend of individuals to carry out all their activities at home. Hence, from a dissimilar perspective, I believe this new statistic is catastrophic! Rolleyes
Well ... direct social contact is fading anyway ... you can't stop evolution. Look at us here know .. chatting on a forum, without knowing each other Wink

"The more industrial a society gets, the less sociol contact there will be" (I can't remember what sociologist said that, but it was a very important one Toungue)
